Network Monitor - Frames lost?

[Brad]

I've looked high and low for information on the subject,
but can't get anywhere with this...

Under the "Captured statistics" heading while running a
capture, there is a sub-heading "# Frames lost when
buffer exceeded" - This number is absolutely huge,
(several hundred thousand per hour) and I am wondering if
this is affecting network performance in any way.
Everything seems to be operating perfectly fine,
but "7,850,000 frames lost when buffer exceeded"
definitely does not sound good. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

This is not a network problem -- you just need to increase the capture
buffer size in netmon. I think it defaults to 1MB or something quite small
like that.

I forget exactly where that option is, but it isn't hard to find. If you have
trouble, post back and I'll dig it out.
